SCORPIONS Celebrate 60 Years With Sprawling European Tour And Fresh Vegas Residency Plans

The iconic German hard rock machine is showing absolutely zero signs of slowing down. As they push past the incredible milestone of six decades on the road, Scorpions has mapped out a massive summer trek across Europe before plotting a return to the Nevada desert for another exclusive headline engagement.

The upcoming itinerary masterfully pairs expansive, open-air arena and festival appearances across the European continent with a highly anticipated autumn return to Sin City.

Blistering Through The European Summer Arena Circuit

The Hannover heavyweights—led by the timeless frontline of Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, and Matthias Jabs—are currently deep into the European leg of their landmark 60th Anniversary World Tour. Moving through a packed July calendar, the band is drawing massive crowds across multiple territories with a production tailored to showcase their foundational catalog.

The summer itinerary carries the rock legends through a rapid succession of key cultural stops, hitting Portugal's MEO Arena, Italy's AMA Music Festival, and a heavy three-night blitz through French arenas in Lyon, Paris, and Strasbourg. From there, the tour pushes deep into eastern and northern Europe, locking in performances at Poland's PreZero Arena, Finland's Veikkaus Arena, and anchoring the billing at the Tallinn Rock Festival in Estonia before heading toward North America.

Returning To Familiar Desert Ground: "Coming Home To Las Vegas"

Once the European dust settles, the rock icons will transport their high-energy production back to the United States for an eight-night residency at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Dubbed "Coming Home to Las Vegas," the newly minted run marks the band’s fourth major residency at the venue, following heavily celebrated, sold-out multi-night stands in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

The Scorpions Celebrates 60 Years With Sprawling European Tour And Fresh Vegas Residency Plan autumn series kicks off on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and extends through Saturday, October 3, 2026. Hard rock veterans Buckcherry are officially locked in to provide direct support for the entire duration of the engagement. Frontman Klaus Meine noted that returning to the Strip felt entirely natural given the global energy of the Sin City crowds:

“Our residency in Las Vegas last year was pure rock 'n' roll joy! Unforgettable nights with fans from all over the world. That energy stayed with us, so coming back in 2026 just felt right."

The eight confirmed performances span across late September and early October, giving domestic fans a dedicated window to catch the legendary outfit in an intimate, high-production theater environment before they inevitably launch into the next phase of their historic milestone year.
